The mention of replacing mobile phones is interesting since apparently .amr format is often used in mobile phones for voice recording.

I messed around a little with that file but didn't get anything. I have zero experience playing with audio though, so someone who knows what they're doing could probably get something. all I managed to do was clean it up enough to hear in the first few seconds the voice saying "my name is--" something. Hopefully someone with better skills than me can take a crack.

OK, I have located Genus Orein in the explosive testing bay, after telling Daniel about the blast doors.

GoC, ask Daniel if we can we use Whispher to communicate with Genus. Seems like that would be a good way. And tell him about the audio file that recently got uploaded.

Looks like Whispher can only be used to communicate one-way at the moment as Genus has the sender - but he maybe able to send messages out using it somehow.

A new file! Forget what it's called as it's down the bottom on L3.

Apparently the password has something to do with Humpty Dumpty...

Hey guys, I've been following the FAILTECH Mystery for a bit and finally found this fourm, I'm currently working hard on audio processing that new audio file that popped up in the L3 directory. This is my first ARG and I'm looking forward to working with you all!

Edit: I'm fairly good at Audio processing, so if there's ever a task that needs that, I should be able to do fairly well at it, since I definitely don't have a PhD in the subject, I encourage others to try at it along side me. I've barely scratched the surface on the new audio file, but I'm definitely getting somewhere.

Well look at what happens when I fall asleep. That'll teach me.

Anyways while messing around for a password I remembered another pattern with the password. The password has always been 3 words long on every level. Just thought I might tell you guys.

Good morning! (I'm also in Cherrytree's timezone)

There's yet another new file in L3. Another corrupted set of meeting notes apparently.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

What can we put together about Humpty Dumpty that could be the password? (edit:no pun intended)

All the passwords i've tried have almost spelled out the whole rhyme.
onawall, agreatfall, thekingshorses, thekingsmen, humptytogetheragain, humptydumptysat.

That's almost all the one's i've tried so far.

Edit: I've also seen two different versions of the rhyme. Only two lines difference
Threescore men, and threescore more.
Cannot place Humpty dumpty as he was before

I'll keep editing this post with any that I think to try.
If any actually WORK, I'll make a new post.

My first is humptydumptyfalls

Based on the Wikipedia article, and the fact that the aml file was named "not egg," I tried:
brandyandale
brandywithale
shortandclumsy

Ive been doing the same thing too. I think we might need to limit our attempts to passwords that are 10 characters long though. That seems to be how they are set up. Three words forming a phrase, 10 characters long.

good catch on the 10 characters thing!

I was trying Humpty Dumpty related passwords last night due to the last couple of lines of the managernotes47 file in the level 3 directory.

No luck yet guys? I've tried all combinations I could think of, so perhaps it's not actually a part of the rhyme itself? Perhaps something to do with his appearance in 'Through the Looking Glass'?
